Ancient MakerSpaces 2019: Digital Tools for Ancient World Study
Almost all research, teaching, and scholarly
communication in ancient studies today bears the imprint of digital
technology in some way, yet the growing number of projects and the rapid
rate of technological development present a distinct challenge for
scholars who are interested in taking advantage of advances in the
digital humanities.
This workshop is a space for students and scholars to
interact with a variety of digital techniques and digital projects of
broad application, providing participants the opportunity to engage in
hands-on, peer-based learning.
Experienced digital humanists from various
disciplines within ancient studies have developed demonstration
curricula and will coordinate teams of trained demonstrators for each
workshop station. The emphasis will be on learning to do things of
immediate utility to scholarship and pedagogy. The workshop is comprised
of five demonstrations and a series of lightning talks; together they
will present techniques and projects dedicated to:
- mapping
- text tagging, annotating, searching, and editing
- epigraphic squeezes
- podcasting
- collaborative commentaries
- and more…
